How to Submit An Event

You can use the form on the website to enter information about your performance, class, exhibit or other arts or cultural event. All submissions are reviewed to screen out spam, but once your event is approved it will be accessible to everyone using the site to find things to do in Freeport.

To register, click the “Register” link located below the Log In button. Enter a user name and your email address. There will be a delay while we review registration requests to screen for spammers. Once you are approved, you will receive an email with your password.
